synthesis reachtion
A + B > AB, AB + CD > ABCD
decomposition
AB > A + B, ABC > AB + C
combustion
reaction involving a hydrocarbon being burned in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water; CxHy + O2 > CO2(g) + H2O (l)
single displacement
A + BC > B + AC
double displacement
AB + CD > AD + CB
acid base reaction (special double displacement)
acid reacts with a base to produce salt and water; HA(aq) + MOH > MA + H2O(l)
